Accountable Leaders Show That They Care
Hospitals and funerals are two places we rarely want to go. Even when we feel genuine love and conce for the person involved or his/her family, we're distracted by how going to those places makes us feel - awkward, afraid for our own health or mortality, guilty, sad or a whole host of other emotions that may come up. This situation has come up for two of my clients - both leaders in their organization. In Jim's case, a former employee died and Jim was the only one at the company who didn't attend the funeral.
